I understand this but people enjoy public discussions about what would 
be NICE to have. It helps when people nitpick your ideas so that you 
can refine them even if they won't be implemented by you in the 
short-term. However, I can also see that things can get a bit personal 
and none of us want to piss you off either :)

Now for my little question. With regards to the rocket-science. Do you 
intend to wait till the core parts (as you see them) of VDR are 
completed before making it more modular and built of multiple, 
replacable, extendable client/server components (if that's the best way 
to do it) ?

Just wanted to know your ultimate opinion (at the moment). Also if you 
intend to wait till the core functionality is done before doing 
anything like this do you not consider a loosely coupled collection of 
modules easier to develop, maintain and allow people to contribute to? 
Please remember I'm not criticizing, just genuinely curious about how 
you as the developer see these things.
